Ammocharis deserticola is a bulbous geophyte from the daffodil and onion family, endemic to the desert and dry shrubland of northwest Namibia. It is a specialist of arid conditions and is rarely grown in gardens, so growing it depends on mimicking a hot, dry, sandy habitat with a dormant season.
Ammocharis deserticola is a flowering plant and geophyte that belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae and is endemic to Namibia.
